Book Reviews of The Key to the Indian (Indian in the Cupboard)
Book Review: Better than the last one-> an Indian adventure
Summary: 4 Stars
All of these stories by an English story teller are about
historical events of plastic action figures like G.I. Joe?
The magic of the box and the key are here transfered to
a car key and father and son save Little Bear's band of the Mohawks
by sending them north to the hard cold Canadian reservation.
The admission that historically the British have been treaty breakers
is probably good. Many an American knows that the Indians
or Native Americans have been treated badly, even shamelessly
by both individuals and government.
The team of Omri and his father nearly die when white
American settlers attack the Iroquian longhouse where they are staying.
A well told story with a moral is worth many "magic adventures"
in my book.
Book Review: The Key To The Indian
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was hard to understand at sometimes, if you had not read The Indian In The Cupboard. The adventure that Omri and his father go on is very exciting and suspenseful. If you liked reading The Indian In The Cupboard or any other of the sequels to this to this book, I'm sure that you will enjoy reading The Key To The Indian. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars because of the thrilling adventure that Omri and his father go on. The book also includes historical features, relating to Little Bear and his bout with the Europeans trying to conquer the new land. I recomend that anyone who enjoys reading Lynne Reid Banks' work.Book Review: well written but poor subject
Summary: 1 Stars
The writer is talented but should be embarassed at her fictionalization, inaccuracy, and stereotyping of American Indians. As a Native woman, I am appalled and ashamed that this book was a reading assignment when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. This book didn't make me feel good then, but I lacked the words and tools to vocalize it. This book should be read only with a follow-up lesson that clarifies the inaccuracies of this book
